Strange Creature

By Michael Leunig

This collection sees Michael Leunig at his fiery, passionate best-protesting the war in Iraq and Australia's current 'leaders.' Strange Creature is irreverent, iconoclastic, scathing, and-as always with Leunig-deeply perceptive. But even when he's ridiculing the enemy, he can't help being delightful. This volume is big, bold, and more colourful than ever-a kind of up-market scrapbook of humour and dissent. It includes newspaper headlines from relevant stories at the time, photos, and some exquisite, full-colour paintings. All in all, a new and slightly different look for the annual Leunig collection.

Leunig in Angry Controversial Mood

This latest book of Michael Leunig's is totally different to his usual soft and meditative approach to life via his man and duck cartoons.This one is very politically motivated - a tour de force against the West's involvement in the war in Iraq. The 3 leaders of US, UK and Aust. get a blasting!A VERY funny look at a VERY controversial subject.HIGHLY recommeded for all Leunig fans.
